SAN FRANCISCO-The San Francisco 49ers this week revealed additional details regarding its planned new open-air stadium, which will replace Monster Park, its 46-year-old current venue. Slated for Candlestick Point in the city’s Bayview-Hunters Point community, next to Monster Park, the team hopes to have the 68,000-sf facility ready for the 2012 NFL season.

The team and the designer, HNTB Architecture Inc. revealed Tuesday that the stadium will feature a large lower bowl with seating for two-thirds of fans and an upper deck that is lower and closer to the action on the field, made possible by a vertical suite complex stacked entirely on the west side of the stadium. Other features will include year-round public plazas, views of Downtown and the Bay and wide concourses with views of the action on the field from every level.
